Restaurants

Old San Juan is a gastronome’s delight. The options are just about endless. Whether you are looking to sample the local fare or looking for a Latin fusion cuisine, you can find it in Old San Juan. For innovative, top of the line cuisine, head to the Sofo (South Fortaleza St) neighborhood. There you will find a trendy array of restaurants that blend traditional Latin American ingredients with more exotic flavors from Asia, Europe, and more.

Café Manolín – If you are searching for authentic Puerto Rican cafeteria-style food, this is your place. Located at Calle San Justo, Manolin has a “w”-shaped bar and a few tables serving breakfast and lunch. This is a very popular location for both locals and tourists, so expect to wait a bit before you eat. We recommend you eat at the bar to speed up the wait time.
